About El Nacional

Major Daily Limited public info

El Nacional is owned by C.A. Editorial El Nacional, with Miguel Henrique Otero as its editor-in-chief, who operates from exile. Its headquarters were seized by the Venezuelan government in 2021, and it is part of the Grupo de Diarios América.

El Nacional operates in a 'not-free' media environment, facing severe government repression, including the seizure of its headquarters and the blocking of its website by internet providers since 2022. Reporters Without Borders and Freedom House highlight the extreme challenges for independent journalism in Venezuela, with the government controlling most broadcast media and exerting legal and economic pressure on independent outlets. The outlet is known for its 'antichavista' stance and serves as a critical voice against the government.

Reading context
